Hello all,
I'm 28 and recently lost my job of six years in a shipping and receiving position. I have always wanted to go into electrical, and this seems to be fates way of telling me I need a career change. I'm doing my homework on the field and have an appointment this week with my local njatc to apply for an apprenticeship. My biggest question is concerning school. A local junior college offers a two year program and I can't really get any answers as to whether an apprenticeship (if I am accepted) or a program to get an associates degree will be more to my advantage. 30 is just around the corner and I don't want to jump off in the wrong direction. Working hard has never been an issue with me. I just want to be working hard in the place that will leave me the most prepared. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
